Hundred stories (or Requiem From The Darkness as its called stateside) is well...unique to say the least. Yamaoka Momosuke is collecting research for a book he wishes to write, the titular "Hundred stories." And then the shows gets weird. He meets the mysterious Ongyou, attractive Ogin, big guy Nagamimi, and pint sized leader of the trio, Mataichi. They are basically, detectives, finding and purging evil spirits and the like from the land. And Momosuke can't seem to quit running into them. It basically follows a typical monster of the week scenario until near the shows end, which i won't spoil here. The art style israther surreal. Buildings, walls, and even people seem distorted and wavy. It almost made me turn it off, but i stayed and watched anyway. The story is pretty simple, real episodic for a while. One of the things that hooked me (besides Ogin. Me-ow.) is Steve Kramer as Mataichi. His voice fits the character perfectly. I should warn you though, this show is NOT for the kiddies. It gets real violent and gory as the show goes on. Overall, if you have some time to kill, and want to see a rather surreal and strange anime, check out Hundred stories. You won't be disappointed.
